Cognitive impairments in adult mice with RIP140 overexpression in neural stem cells

Receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a transcription co-regulator of several transcription factors and a signal transduction regulator. RIP140 was recently implicated in the regulation of cognitive functions. The gene that encodes RIP140 is located on chromosome 21. An increase in RIP140 expression was observed in the fetal cerebral cortex and hippocampus in Down syndrome patients who exhibited strong cognitive disabilities. We hypothesized that RIP140 overexpression affects cognitive function in adult neural development. The present study used a Cre-dependent adeno-associated virus to selectively overexpress RIP140 in neural stem cells using nestin-Cre mice. RIP140 overexpression efficiency was evaluated at the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dorsal dentate gyrus (dDG) and the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles (LVs). Mice with RIP140 overexpression in the SGZ exhibited deficits in cognitive function and spatial learning and memory, measured in the Morris water maze, object-place recognition test, and novel object recognition test. However, overexpression of RIP140 in SVZ only impaired performance in the Morris water maze and novel object recognition test but not in the object-place recognition test. Altogether, these results indicated defects in cognitive functions that were associated with RIP140 overexpression in neural stem cells and revealed a behavioral phenotype that may be used as a framework for further investigating the neuropathogenesis of Down syndrome.
